Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Accrington Stanley to win either half: YES — 1.63
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Both teams to score: YES — 1.88
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: To qualify: Accrington Stanley — 1.55
Accrington Stanley head into the game as the favourites and backing them to win either half is pretty decent. They won in one half in the first leg at Boreham Wood.
Four of Boreham Wood’s last five matches ended with both teams scoring. The first leg at home ended with both teams scoring one goal each, hence there’s a chance the return leg could produce similar outcome.
Because they head into the game as the favourites and the game is being played at their own stadium, there’s a belief they could benefit from that and go through to the next round. They led Boreham early in the game in the reverse fixture but conceded late to Boreham.
Accrington are not in their best shape, having won two and drawn one of their last five matches across all competitions. They occupy the 20th position with 25 points after 25 games in League One.
are winless in their last five matches, although they lost of those games. They recorded three 1-1 draws on a bounce, including the 1-1 draw against Accrington Stanley in the reverse fixture. Boreham Wood occupy the 12th with 33 points after 24 matches.
Both teams have not been in their best shape this season, but Accrington are a bit better, having won two of their last five matches. I’d back them to win this game but it will be a tight one, as Accrington aren’t sound at the back.
With both teams likely to get on the scoreboard and I still think Accrington would win, hence I’ll go for a 2-1 win for the hosts.
Both teams are not sound upfront, so there’s a belief that this game might not produce at least four goals before the final whistle of the regular time.
